Subject: Re: TWL: Spraying Volatiles into Diesel Air Intakes

If you can stand one more comment:
Be very careful and make sure you know your engine and its preheat/starting
system.
An example:
My (non-marine) Cummins in my Dodge truck does not have/use any sort of
cylinder "glow plug". Rather it preheats the air charge in the intake with
two very powerful electric heaters actually located in the intake manifold.
This is a nice system, works very well, and is easy to service.
BUT:
The result of spraying any volatiles into the intake would be immediate
ignition/explosion in the intake.
